Text 64] The Transcendental Madness of Lord Caitanya 283

He; me—My; madana-mohanah —Lord Krsna, the enchanter of Cupid; sakhi—O
My dear friend; tanoti—increases; netra-sprham—the desire of the eyes.

TRANSLATION

‘My dear friend, the luster of Krsna’s body is more brilliant than a newly
formed cloud, and His yellow dress is more attractive than newly arrived
lightning. A peacock feather decorates His head, and on His neck hangs a
lovely necklace of brilliant pearls. As He holds His charming flute to His lips,
His face looks as beautiful as the full autumn moon. By such beauty, Madana-
mohana, the enchanter of Cupid, is increasing the desire of my eyes to see
Him.”

Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued: ‘Sri Krsna’s complexion is as polished as
powdered eye ointment. It surpasses the beauty of a newly formed cloud and
is softer than a blue lotus flower. Indeed, His complexion is so pleasing that it
attracts the eyes and mind of everyone, and it is so powerful that it defies all
comparison.
